Island News

Not too much new around here in the last couple of days other than I have been playing around with WinDVR 3, trying to get it setup here to record Big Brother 4 here for Keivn since he starts the night shift and has no way of recording it yet. So we have got the settings worked out that I can record the hour show and the file size will be about 360 MB and still be decent quality (About VHS quality), then I’ll FTP it up to his server before he gets home from work (yeah there goes my montly bandwidth limit) .  It’s a nice program has many features such as pause, replay, & commercial skiping. Haven’t gotten into how to enable the Online TV guide part yet but that will come.

Well tomorrow is Canada’s 136th birthday, what has everyone got planned for celebrations? Not sure if we will do much other than go watch the fireworks in Summerside (such as they are every year) poor .

Well Loralee got up early and got all ready to go up to Tony’s only to have him call her this morning to say that this weekend isn’t good for them ! they would have to make it next weekend. She was disappointed but what can ya do .

We must be going to get a Thunderstorm or something, Loralee has been stiff and sore for the last couple of days, usually the warm weather helps her arthritis but not the last day or two.

Watched the movie THEY last night, its along the same line as Darkness falls, not a bad movie. Had a few spots in it that made us Jump.

Looks like it will be another nice day today. Maybe we’ll go to the beach for a while today .

Well I have changed the style sheet for the blog once again, and done away with the tables I had in the main index.php file. It’s looking much better, thanks to “Book of Styles” now I’ll build from this and make some other changes later but I’m going to settle with this format looks much better and the same between IE & Mozzila, which I was having trouble with before .

Well it was a hot one here today. Got up to just over 30 degree’s!!

and of course I picked the hottest day to date to clean

Anyway after getting the house all cleaned up and the laundry all caught up. We went and did a little shopping.

After supper Loralee and I took Giz to the beach for a walk. He really liked that He Loves the water. Of course it only has to be about 6 inches deep to be deep enough for him.. .

He was a muddy sandy mess when we got home so into the tub he went.

It was beautiful at the beach this evening!! its so nice to walk along with water lapping at your ankels .

Tony (my brother) is coming to pick up Loralee tomorrow morning to take her up to the west end of the island for some visiting for the weekend. I’m sure she’ll have a good time up there getting to visit everyone.

Well that’s about all the news for now. Hope everyone has a Grand weekend .

Well it’s been a very long day, rolled out of bed this morning around 4:10AM to get ready to take Kevin to the Moncton Airport. Left the house around 4:30AM and stoped for gas & Coffee first thing, then made a quick stop in Borden (the Island end of the Confederation Bridge) left Borden at 4:55AM and arrived at the Airport at 6:00AM. Kevin got all checked in and we said our good bye’s and I headed back for home. I arrived back home at 7:35AM and then got ready to head off to work. Went into work around 9:00AM and worked until about 12:30PM then came home, I was ready for a sleep by this time (and I’m sure Kevin was as well).

It was a really warm day today, it got up to 28 or 29 Deg. C today and very little breeze so it was quite warm. I did manage to get about an hour of sleep in this afternoon. Now this evening it is starting to cool off finally.

Here is a picture of todays Sunset
